Top 5 Myths About Neurotoxins — Debunked by Our Experts at Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa

When it comes to smoothing fine lines and achieving a youthful, refreshed look, neurotoxins like Dysport® and Botox®have become household names. But despite how common they are, misconceptions still hold many people back from experiencing their full benefits.

At Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa in Overland Park, Kansas, our expert injectors are here to clear up the confusion. Let’s separate fact from fiction and debunk the Top 5 Myths About Neurotoxins — once and for all.

💉 Myth #1: Neurotoxins Will Make You Look “Frozen”

The Truth: When performed by a skilled injector, you’ll still look like you — just smoother and more refreshed.
Our providers at Advanced Aesthetics specialize in natural-looking results that enhance your features, not mask them. By precisely targeting only the muscles responsible for wrinkles, you’ll maintain facial expression and movement while enjoying a soft, rejuvenated appearance.

Pro Tip: Ask about our custom treatment mapping for balanced, subtle outcomes.

🕒 Myth #2: You’ll See Results Immediately

The Truth: Results take a little patience — and it’s worth the wait.
After your Dysport or Botox injection, you’ll typically start to see changes in 3–5 days, with full effects showing around 10–14 days. The smoother, tighter appearance lasts about 3–4 months, depending on your individual treatment plan and muscle activity.

Insider Tip: Schedule your appointment 2–3 weeks before a big event or the holidays for best timing.

💰 Myth #3: It’s Only for Older Clients

The Truth: Prevention is the new correction.
Many clients start neurotoxin treatments in their mid-to-late 20s to prevent lines from forming in the first place. Known as “prejuvenation,” this approach keeps fine lines from becoming deep-set wrinkles over time — meaning you’ll age gracefully and with less effort later on.

At Advanced Aesthetics, we tailor your dosage and treatment plan to your exact facial anatomy and goals, ensuring subtle, age-appropriate results.

⚠️ Myth #4: All Injectors Are the Same

The Truth: The injector’s experience makes all the difference.
While neurotoxins may seem simple, technique and training determine whether your results look refined and natural or overdone and uneven. Our licensed nurses and medical director at Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa bring over 15 years of experience and award-winning precision to every injection.

We’re proud to be Kansas City’s #1 Med Spa, known for setting the standard in safety, artistry, and client satisfaction.

🧴 Myth #5: Once You Start, You Can’t Stop

The Truth: Stopping neurotoxins won’t make your face “worse.”
If you choose to pause treatments, your facial muscles will gradually regain movement, and lines will return to how they looked before your injections — not worse. Neurotoxins don’t stretch or weaken the skin; they simply relax targeted muscles while active.

In fact, consistent use can actually train your muscles to be less expressive, helping you maintain a smoother look even with less frequent touch-ups.

✨ The Real Truth: It’s About Confidence, Not Perfection

At Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa, we believe neurotoxins are more than just wrinkle relaxers — they’re confidence boosters that let you look as vibrant as you feel. Whether you’re new to injectables or simply looking for a trusted injector in Overland Park, our team will guide you through every step of your aesthetic journey with expert care.
